Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we journey through Matthew 21, where Jesus enters Jerusalem as the humble yet victorious King. From the crowds shouting “Hosanna to the Son of David!” to the cleansing of the temple, this chapter reveals the clash between divine authority and human pride. Witness how Jesus’ power over nature, seen in the withering of the fig tree, mirrors His call for genuine faith and fruitfulness. Then, through His parables, He exposes the hearts of the religious leaders and declares a powerful truth — “The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.” Join us as we reflect on what it means to truly recognize the King, bear fruit in faith, and build our lives on the unshakable cornerstone — Christ Himself. 📖 “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!”
